YOUTH COUNCILThe purpose of Youth Council is for a majority of youth to gather with adults to help discuss our ministry with youth. They help make decisions and hard choices concerning the direction of the youth ministry. The youth serving on Youth Council are committed to being leaders in the youth ministry and share not only their time with the youth, but also the rest of the church congregation. They meet monthly as scheduled.
